The next province-wide biennial Cities Fit for Children Summit to be hosted in the City of Chilliwack will highlight the important links between planning and health and showcase ways to support built and natural environments to be places where children and youth can thrive.

Building on the Framework for Recreation in Canada which is the guiding document for public recreation providers, the upcoming Cities Fit for Children Summit, May 11-13, 2020 will engage local governments, health authorities, service providers and committed citizens to come together and share approaches for improving environments and better utilizing natural environments for children, youth and families.
